Diesel Black Gold Resort 2015

[marcBarna]

Creative director Andreas Melbostad delivered a rockabilly vibe for a look that fit in rather seamlessly with the hard-edged leather and denim at Diesel Black Gold’s core.

He interpreted the Fifties-era style with looks including a slim-fitting Western shirt in a tropical tiger print and an airbrushed leather biker jacket with enamel and metal studs, not to mention the requisite black, white and red palette.

But mostly the collection was a study in Diesel’s strong commercial formula, dictated with great fitting denim, sharp tailoring and a sexy dress or two.

"Race to the Grave," the T-shirts at Diesel Black Gold pronounced. Bikers themselves may or may not have a death wish, but the biker look never gets old. Andreas Melbostad returned to it for Diesel Black Gold's new Resort collection, studding and stenciling every inch of black leather moto jackets; cutting denim miniskirts pelmet-short; and otherwise infusing the offering with its usual tough-as-nails vibe.

Another fashion perennial he tapped into this season: rockabilly. It came through in twisted Hawaiian print shirts with contrasting yokes and razor-sharp pinstriped jackets and stovepipe pants. They added a slightly dandified, somewhat more dressed-up new dimension to the label's current profile. A neoprene-bodice Hawaiian-print slipdress was almost sweet. But denim and leather remain the focal point of this brand, a point that came across in the diverse ways Melbostad treated denim. Indigo jeans dyed a deep red were subtle and cool, but the best was a pair of red denim cigarette jeans covered in messy stripes of waxy black paint. They looked utterly badass accompanied by a black tuxedo jacket with a built-in pocket chain.

I had such high hopes for this label after Andreas Melbostad became the creative director; but so far everything he has done has been TOO MUCH and, frankly, quite BAD. So unattractive and zero creativity in any of this. This label doesn't seem to be the right fit for him, he was tons better than this at Phi.
